SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Affidavit of Individual Surety 

(Standard Form (SF) 28) is used by all 

executive agencies, including the 

Department of Defense, to obtain 

information from individuals wishing to 

serve as sureties to Government bonds. 

To qualify as a surety on a Government 

bond, the individual must show a net 

worth not less than the penal amount of 

the bond on the SF 28. It is an elective 

decision on the part of the maker to use 

individual sureties instead of other 

available sources of surety or sureties 

for Government bonds. We are not 

aware if other formats exist for the 

collection of this information. 

The information on SF 28 is used to 

assist the contracting officer in 

determining the acceptability of 

individuals proposed as sureties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

United States laws impose duties on 

foreign supplies imported into the 

customs territory of the United States. 

Certain exemptions from these duties 

are available to Government agencies. 

These exemptions are used whenever 

the anticipated savings outweigh the 

administrative costs associated with 

processing required documentation. 

When a Government contractor 

purchases foreign supplies, it must 

notify the contracting officer to 

determine whether the supplies should 

be duty-free. In addition, all shipping 

documents and containers must specify 

certain information to assure the dutyfree entry of the supplies. 

The contracting officer analyzes the 

information submitted by the contractor 

to determine whether or not supplies 

should enter the country duty-free. The 

information, the contracting officer’s 

determination, and the U.S. Customs 

forms are placed in the contract file. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 1,330. 

Responses per Respondent: 10. 

Total Responses: 13,300. 

Hours per Response: .5. 

Total Burden Hours: 6,650.
